What I NEED To Remember
  • In the 45 45 90 triangle, assume that a leg
    is 1.
  • The other leg is 1 since the 45 45 90 is
    isosceles!
  • The hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean Theorem is
    units long.

What I NEED To Remember
  • In the 30 60 90 triangle, assume that the
    short leg is 1.
  • How do we know which leg is the short leg?
  • The hypotenuse is 2 units according to the
    derivation we did in our previous unit.

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL
  • Why do we learn about functions?
  • Do you remember what kind of function we used to
    model each situation?

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL
  • Do you remember what kind of function we used to
    model each situation?

Verizon charges me 0.45 for each additional
minute that I use beyond my plan. I used 728
additional minutes, but of course, Verizon will
round up, rather than round down. What function
can I use to model this the additional cost I
would pay?

HERES THE POINT
  • Have you ever seen this before?

  • What about these?
  • What function do we have to model this motion?

OBJECTIVE
  • To model the situations given in the last slides,
    we need to learn more trigonometry! Our
    objective is to calculate the trigonometric value
    of any angle, particularly those having special
    reference angles.

Quadrantal Angles
  • Definition. A quadrantile angle is an angle
    whose initial side lies on one of the coordinates
    axes.
  • Examples.
  • How do we find trig values in this case?

The Unit Circle!
16
Trigonometric Values of Quadrantal Angles
  • Definition. The unit circle is a circle whose
    radius is 1 unit long.

  • Identify the ordered pair for each quadrantal
    angle.

  • We will now find out how to find calculate the
    trigonometric values of these angles.
